The T.R.A.C.E. Contract—Tokenized Records for Artwork Certification and Evolution—is a blockchain-powered solution from Transient Labs that secures the authenticity and history of physical artworks. By pairing tamper-evident NFC chips with digital Certificates of Authenticity (dCOAs), T.R.A.C.E. ensures your art’s legacy is transparent, verifiable, and permanent. Custom smart contracts tie the physical piece to its digital record, logging everything from creation to sales on the blockchain.

  • Key Features: Immutable dCOAs, embedded NFC chips, and a full provenance history.

  • Who’s Involved: Artists create and mint, while registered agents (like galleries) can validate.

  • Setup: Deploy via desktop in The Lab, link a chip, and mint.
